Thomas Sowell is wrong on nearly every point he's made throughout his career as a right-wing propagandist.If you think Thomas Sowell is bad then your problem is you don't identify the problem in the black community. That's why you can't understand black people who don't complain and blame everyone for their shortcomings. It's people like you that will fail in life and point the finger at everyone else but yourself.
The black community has words like c00n, Uncle Tom, etc to separate people who are advanced thinkers from the average person. I don't know any other race that has terms like that. I'm pretty sure if Bill Gates was black people would call him c00n like they do all rich black people.
Robin has a few missing pieces in his article that really harm his central thesis.By the way, Clarence Thomas is definitely not a white supremacist by any means. He has some pretty extreme views, but he is "pro black" in some fukked up Darwinian way. He's a right wing black nationalist, if that makes sense.
He believes that America will never truly embrace black Americans and that racism can not be overcome. He also believes that only the strongest black ppl can survive and even thrive in America. He believes that liberals are damaging black Americans by selling them a lie. Anyway, you can read more in a biography that was recently released called "The Enigma of Clarence Thomas"
Here's a very good review which summarizes Thomas' views:
At best, the idea that Thomas is "pro-Black" comes from a pretty thin set of dicta in a few of the decisions he's made. I thought the book had merit when it first came out, but after *really* getting a chance to delve into some of his more recent horrific concurrences, dissents, and majority decisions, it appears that he's simply jumped the shark into something akin to fascist corporatism - not unlike Alito or the Fifth Circuit's current conservative loons.
A handful of decisions outright foreclose the ability of innocent people to get a chance to appeal their decisions, for people enslaved by corporations to sue, for voters in swaths of the U.S. to get representation, for the legislature to LEGISLATE if its a popular decision, for the rights of incarcerated people, etc.
He's even gone against popular libertarian positions - to the point of being outright contradictory.
Thomas is a c00n.Black women and black LGBT weirdos are used as pawns for white liberals, and they're completely unaware of that they're being used. shyt is tiring.
No one here is going to read all that and continue to call him a 'c00n' for simply being republican.
